“Julie has been instrumental to the fundraising efforts at Marian Middle School. Her creative and collaborative style meshes seamlessly with our existing development team to advance our school forward! With her help, we’ve been able to find new sources of funds, grow our existing donor base, and better target our grant requests to both meet the needs of our donors and our students. She’s extremely organized, professional, and brings new and fresh ideas to Marian at each meeting!”

“Julie was a great addition to our agency! She quickly learned about our programs and captured the essence of our mission in her writing. Julie created a robust prospect list, and our grant funding increased threefold in one year.”

“While Mary Ryder Home has been serving St. Louis’ most vulnerable senior women since 1930, it was only since we hired Julie and Taylor Management Group, that we were able to research and secure new sources of grant funding for the organization. Under Julie’s leadership, MRH found and secured new grant dollars that are truly helping our residents live better lives. What’s more, using Julie to outsource our grants made sure that our development needs were handled by an expert team of grant writers, researchers and consultants—and allowed us to better focus our time and energy on our mission.”

“When the Saint Louis University School of Medicine wanted to overhaul our Grand Rounds alumni magazine, we turned to Julie. From developing a new thematic concept which helps us showcase our thought leadership, to editorial strategy, Julie marries creative vision with an eye toward ROI. Julie is hands-on—interviewing our physician and scientist teams, writing articles and editing. She’s forward-thinking and collaborative when it comes to development solutions, and works creatively to leverage communication strategies for higher education.”

“Tara is truly a gem. I’ve worked with a lot of grant writers, and have rarely found someone so responsive, knowledgeable and thorough. She got to know our organization so quickly and really helped us get to where we need to be. We’ll definitely reach back out when we need help with something like this going forward.”

“For several years I have worked with Julie. She has helped develop our website, researched and secured funding as our contracted grant writer, and has helped to create and build our social media campaign. Julie is professional, organized, and a great writer. For her nonprofit clients, she comes with a great perspective, adding valuable insight due to her background in corporate philanthropy. Julie has been a great addition to our team and I feel very fortunate to work closely with her.”

“Julie has been an essential outsourced part of our development team for several years. She has a unique ability to help tell our story to our donors, prospective donors, and members of the J community in a way that is compelling and meaningful—sprurring them to action. She asks the right questions, thinks strategically and delivers results.”

“Julie’s work was invaluable to our mission and our growth. Because we are a start-up credit union serving low income teenagers, we turned to Julie for her expertise in both nonprofit fundraising and small business consulting. She helped us every step of the way—including formation and operations, business plan development, grant writing and donor communications. Julie’s ability to tell our story and to communicate with a variety of different audiences, donors, collaborators to name just a few, has allowed us to grow much more quickly than we had anticipated.”

“Julie is more than a writer….she’s a thinker and an excellent addition to any strategic or creative team. Julie asks the right questions and delivers smart, thoughtful results on budget and on time.”

“Julie is a strategic thinker—she was able to quickly assess how we should organize and present our work in a succinct way, and position us for success. She has exceptional writing skills, an unmatched work ethic, and although she is a consultant, she shows a level of commitment to our cause that makes us feel like she is part of our team—a rare quality with consultants! Working with Julie is a delight!”

“I would highly recommend working with Julie and her company. She is thoughtful, analytic and resourceful. Julie was able to think outside the box and help us create a plan that worked with how our organization operates, and not how it should operate. She was able to understand our philosophy and how we like to involve people in the process. That meant taking a typical retail operation and standing it on its head and making it work. Julie got us and so we got a great product that worked for us!”
